Alien Summoning System

Chapter 401
After all, the Sishui Pass was breached. Compared with the battle at Xiqi’s gate, Wen Zhong’s expedition was after all a laborious expedition. After a long battle, the food and grass had begun to fail, so he had to retreat to Guanzhong, but Jiang Ziya took advantage of the situation to break through the Sishui Pass. , Sishui Gate guards Huang Gun and Fengxing City were destroyed and killed, and they were listed on the list of gods. After Huang Feihu heard the news, he vomited blood.

However, Xiqi was not able to be complacent for too long. When he captured Sishuiguan, bad news came from the north. Chong Heihu lost the city, and was finally captured alive by Li Jing at the Linglong Tower on the bank of the river. He would rather die than surrender. In the end, Zhao Yun ordered someone to behead his head and send the head to Xiqi. Since then, the princes of the two hundred towns in the north have been completely pacified, and the world has been divided into five, and Cheng Tang has accounted for four of them.

After Ji Fa heard the news of Chong Heihu's death, he was in a daze all day long, ignoring political affairs, and Jiang Ziya took care of everything in the army.

"Prime Minister, then Zhao Yun has led Li Jing, Deng Jiugong and others to cross the river and come straight to Xiqi. If we wait for his troops to come to Xiqi, then we will be in a situation where we will be attacked by the enemy. Why don't we go back to the army and defend against the city?" Sitting in the barracks, Ji Fa discussed with Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya was also a little troubled when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Zhao Yun was so powerful. He only led the way and captured all the princes in the two hundred towns of Chongheihu. Now Zhao Yun leads the army to force Xiqi. If he doesn't return to the army, Just like what King Wu said, the enemy is on the back.

But if he returns to the army, it's not only about Xiqi's luck, this battle is sealed by the destiny, if he retreats, the disciples of Chanjiao will suffer catastrophe, and everyone will die, so this road can only advance and not retreat.

"It's better for King Wu to go back to Xiqi first. I ordered the two generals Jin Zha and Mu Zha to assist me. I think Zhao Yun is just a partial teacher all the way, and after a long battle, the soldiers want to return. It will be difficult to do anything. The king only needs to guard the city and wait Zhao Yun had nothing to do, so he withdrew his troops and left, and then went to Jiamengguan to join forces with the ministers and break Chaoge!"

Seeing Jiang Ziya's firm attitude, Ji Fa had no choice but to nod, and led Jin Zha and Mu Zha to lead an army to Xiqi. , This time, Chaoge's capable people and strangers almost came together, and the second generation of Chanjiao disciples went back to practice and restore their vitality. On Xiqi's side, there were only Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, Jin Zha and Mu Zha. The disciples of the three generations of Chanjiao, who are famous for their three generations, have no advantage at all compared to Jiejiao, which has a large number of people. They can only look at the casual cultivators of the three mountains and five mountains. Jiang Ziya's main support was comparable to Wen Zhong's.

The winter of this year was extremely cold.

When Ji Fa hurried back to Xiqi with his army, looking at the snow-covered city, an unspeakable sense of desolation welled up in his heart.

In fact, many things were not prepared. It may have been a hasty decision to agree to Jiang Ziya's dispatch of troops. Now, not only has the city been lost, but Xiqi, which used to be bustling and prosperous in the past, has become such a scene now.

"Where is Zhao Yun's army now?" At this point, Ji Fa knew that even if he complained about Jiang Ziya, it would be meaningless at this time, and the most urgent task at the moment was to deal with Zhao Yun's army.

"Let me report in detail. At this time, it is less than a hundred miles away from Xiqi, and we will arrive tomorrow." Jin Zha said in a deep voice.

Less than a hundred miles!Already this close?
Ji Fa frowned, and ordered Jin Zha and Mu Zha to lead people to organize the city defenses and prepare for a big battle. Xiqi City, as Ji Fa's foundation, had two hearts, and had a very rich strategic reserve. Under the command of Zha, various strategic materials were continuously transported to the city wall with the help of the people.

In the evening, Ji Fa finally finished his work and was about to go back home to rest. When he came to the street, he suddenly saw two women distributing food on the street. It was the two Zhou family girls he rescued at the beginning, who have been away on an expedition for a year, if they hadn't met, they would hardly remember.

"What are you doing?" Ji Fa approached and watched the bags of grain being sent out. Suddenly, an inexplicable annoyance rose in his heart. Although there are still reserves in the army, it is already very difficult to last until the beginning of spring. Well, these two stupid women actually sent out food without authorization! ?

"Your Majesty! You're back!?" Daji and Ximei seemed to have discovered Ji Fa at this moment, with a look of surprise on their faces, and quickly knelt down to pay their respects.

"Who allowed you to distribute food!?" Ji Fa turned pale, then looked angrily at the several guards who were helping around: "And you, as soldiers, don't want to protect your home and country, but here you are with Two ignorant women messing around!?"

"Your Majesty, don't blame the generals, it's us..." Zhou Ling wanted to explain something, but was interrupted roughly by Ji Fa.

"Enough!" Ji Fa looked at the two charming women with a livid face, but at the moment he couldn't show any pity. If he was on a normal day, Ji Fa would also be willing to do some good deeds to improve his reputation among the people. But at the moment of the battle, it is still a trivial matter to distribute some rice grains, but if because of this, a large number of people come to ask for grains, will he give it or not?

"Your Majesty, these two ladies bought these grains with the salaries they saved in the mansion, and they did not touch a single grain in the mansion." The commander of the guards, who was the one who joined Daji that day, seemed to be unable to see at this moment. Go down and make a strong argument.

Ji Fa looked at each other solemnly, the problem wasn't at all here, no matter whether the mansion paid food or not, their actions would cause misunderstandings in the mansion.

"It turned out that Ms. Zhou paid for it herself." Many onlookers exclaimed in surprise. Although it was very low, Ji Fa could imagine that his image in the eyes of these people at this moment must have been overwhelmed by these two stupid women. It's over!

"Go back to the mansion!" Ji Fa said with an ugly face, and walked towards the palace without looking back. At this moment, a general came galloping on horseback.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Zhao Yun led an army to break through the city gate, and they are now fighting with the two generals Jin Zha and Mu Zha!"

"What!?" Ji Fa was taken aback, and ignored the two of Daji, quickly got on his horse, and galloped towards the city gate with his guards.

At the gate of the city, when Ji Fa felt it, a great battle had ended and the city gate was closed tightly, but Jin Zha and Mu Zha looked unhappy.

"What's the reason for the two generals?" Ji Fa looked at Jin Zha and Mu Zha suspiciously, and asked in puzzlement.

Jin Zha smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know that it was not Zhao Yun who attacked the city gate just now, but the former general of Chentangguan, our father."

It turned out that although Zhao Yun's army was still a hundred miles away, he secretly sent Li Jing to lead a cavalry first. It would be best if Xiqi could capture the city before Xiqi was unprepared. Unexpectedly, Li Jing led his troops to come, and met Jin Zha and Mu Zha who were patrolling the city wall. They met Li Jing's men and horses. The two sides fought a big battle at the gate of the city. In the end, Li Jing lost to his two sons and retreated. Neither of them dared to really go after and kill their father.

Ji Fa's heart sank when he heard the words, Jin Zha and Mu Zha would definitely not dare to fight with all their strength in a father-son duel on the battlefield, and more importantly, Ji Fa did not dare to use Jin Zha and Mu Zha with confidence. The world is right, no matter how much Ji Fa believes in them, he will inevitably have pimples in his heart. This is tantamount to abolishing the two gold medals he can play the most in his hand now.

"The two generals don't have to worry about it. General Li will definitely understand the true meaning of the two generals in the future." Although there was a trace of grievance in his heart, Ji Fa concealed it very well. After comforting the two of them, Wen Yan ordered Immediately close the four doors.

Li Jing walked around the city wall of Xiqi City, seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, he had no choice but to retreat the army ten miles down the village, waiting for Zhao Yun, Deng Jiugong and others to come, and then discuss the matter of breaking the city.

In Xiqi City, Ji Fa finally returned to the mansion after calming down the army, but saw the Zhou sisters standing alone in the snow. Seeing him coming, the girl named Zhou Xue was at a loss. There was a flash of firmness in Zhou Ling's eyes, as if he had made some determination, and he didn't know what the determination was, but seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they couldn't be blamed for this matter, the starting point was originally good, It's just that there is a shortage of food in the army now, he really dare not think about it, if the people in the city come to ask for food, how should he deal with it?

Just as she was about to step forward to say a few words of comfort, Zhou Ling (Daji) stepped forward, knelt down, and buried her head in the cold snow.

"What is this for?" Ji Fa asked puzzled.

"My lord, over the past few days in the city, more than a dozen people have died of freezing and starving." Daji didn't know what kind of mood she was in at the moment. She was acting, but there was also an unspeakable sadness welling up in her heart. At this moment, when he spoke, he felt a little choked up: "The king is the king of benevolence and righteousness. I beg the king to take pity on the living people and open the warehouse to release grain!"

Ji Fa's originally gentle face turned livid in an instant, and he looked at Daji solemnly: "Do you know what you are talking about!?"

"Zhou Ling knows that my sister's status is humble, so I shouldn't speak so boldly and talk about state affairs. Moreover, the country is still in war, and the army is short of food. It's just that there is a shortage of food in the army. It is still possible to cut down some expenses and save food and money. , can always overcome difficulties, but if the people have no food, I am afraid that many people will freeze to death this winter, please have mercy~"

"Come on, drive these two sluts out of the palace!" Ji Fa shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty, this... is!" Several guards looked at each other, a little unbearable, but when they saw Ji Fa's livid face looking over, they couldn't help but feel choked up in their chests, so they had no choice but to look at Daji and the others and said, "You two girls, please. "

Snowflakes fell in the sky at some point, and two slender figures came out of the palace, looking unusually bleak in the snow.

In a restaurant facing the street, Zhuge Liang looked at the two women who came out of the palace, smiled and said to Zhuo Ao who was sitting opposite him: "Your Majesty, it seems that a great event can be expected."

"It's still short of fire." Zhuo Ao shook his head and said with a smile: "You rush to Jiepai Pass immediately, the battle of the Three Churches is about to arrive."

"Yes."
